The
intent of this text is repetitive analogies that aid transcendence of
the strikingly convincing appearance of Multiplicity in the World.
Apparent objects are actually only perceptions of such “objects”.
Perceptions are actually only thoughts. Thoughts are actually only
illusory “waves” (vritti s) in Consciousness, the single Non-Dual
Consciousness. The
self-luminous & unmistakable Reality of your own Existence is the
Self, the only Real,

[7]
Just as Space, though only1, appears as if 2 [as when inside &
outside a container like an earthen pot for instance ], being
conditioned [by the illusory Mind], so likewise, this Self,
though only 1 & complete, being so conditioned [as if all this
apparent Universe], appears as if 2 [or some 1080
particles
in the apparently knowable Universe].

[8]
Consciousness, which is the cause [of Mind & the illusory
Universe it projects] seems so conditioned, but stays as the
Consciousness, which is also the effect imagined, & is not
altered as the Space of a pot, a cloud, or the clay making up the
pot. [Consciousness like Space] is not different
anywhere.

[9]
Just as Space with limitation [as when enclosed in pots &
other containers or objects] removed is only 1, likewise, this
Self, with limitation [Mind-created Delusion] removed, is
only1 ever.

[10]
Just as, with or from Space there is not another “space”, so too
because of oneness of the Self, there is no other “self” that
could originate from the [single Non-Dual] Self.

[11]
Just as water can appear as a cloud instead of the form of liquid
water, likewise indeed, the Self, by association with Delusion,
appears in the form of the Universe.

[12]
Water sometimes appears as a cloud. Upon the cloud’s destruction
as rain, there is indeed no destruction of the water.

[13]
Likewise, this Self indeed appears, by association with Delusion
(Illusion), as the manifest Universe. By the apparent
destruction of the apparent manifest Universe, there is not
indeed destruction of one's own Self at any time [as with death of
the illusory Body, Deep Dreamless Sleep, the “end of
Time”, Enlightenment, whatever, ...].

[14]
Just as a bubble, arising in water, appears as if separate from
water, so likewise this manifest Universe & it’s Multiplicity
appears as if separate from the Self.

The intent of this text is repetitive analogies that aid transcendence of the strikingly convincing appearance of Multiplicity in the World. Apparent objects are actually only perceptions of such “objects”. Perceptions are actually only thoughts. Thoughts are actually only illusory “waves” (vritti s) in Consciousness, the single Non-Dual Consciousness. The self-luminous & unmistakable Reality of your own Existence is the Self, the only Real,

[2] Just as, due to a defect in the eye [diplopia due to drunkenness, poison, disease, etc.], the Moon, even though 1, appears as if 2, likewise, due to Illusion [being fooled] (Delusion [fooling oneself]), the Self [Non-Dual Reality], even though 1, falsely appears as if 2 [or immensely multiple as the Universe].

[3] Just as, for those devoid of a defect in the eye [diplopia, etc.], the Moon is only 1, likewise, for those devoid of the defect of delusion, the Self, indeed, is ever 1.

[4] Being 2 appears due to a defect in the eye, in the case of the Moon. So, by its own delusion, does the World (the Universe). just as being 2 is false in the case of the Moon, so, likewise, Duality is false in the case of the Self.

[5] An effect of the Self, [such as Mind-created ] “Space”, will not arise without the Self [being the Consciousness in which Minds appear to function]. “Completeness” [strikingly apparent, detailed, & vast] of this effect being accomplished, how much more [amazing] is this so for the completeness of the Self !

[6] Just as Space, being the illusory reflection. is only 1 & not, indeed, 2-fold, so, this Self, being the Cause, is only 1 for those who really know.
